Republican Rep. Steve King contrasted Iowans as being willing to help one another compared to to victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

“Here’s what FEMA tells me: we go to a place like New Orleans and everybody’s looking around saying ‘who’s gonna help me?” King said at a town hall event in a video posted to his Facebook page.

He said that FEMA told him that an Iowan, however, would say “wait a minute let me get my boots it’s Joe that needs help. Let’s go down to his place and help him.”

They’re just always gratified when they come and see how Iowans take care of each other,” he added.
